Terms & Conditions
Browne Studio Photography
Last updated: 9 November 2026
Thank you for choosing Browne Studio Photography. We aim to make every photography experience relaxed, enjoyable and memorable. Please read these Terms & Conditions before booking a session. They explain our booking arrangements, cancellation policies, image delivery and usage rights. By confirming a booking, you agree to these terms, subject to your statutory consumer rights.
1. Bookings and Payments
All photography sessions are subject to availability. A €50 booking deposit is required to secure your photography session. This amount is deducted from the total session price. Your booking is confirmed once the deposit has been received and confirmation has been provided by Browne Studio Photography. The remaining balance is payable no later than the date of your photography session, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Final edited photographs will be delivered once full payment has been received, subject to applicable consumer rights. Additional photographs, products or services beyond those included in your selected package may be purchased separately at the prices communicated before purchase.
2. Cancellations and Rescheduling
We understand that plans can change, particularly when photographing families and young children. We kindly request at least 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your session.
Rescheduling with at least 48 hours' notice
Your €50 deposit can be transferred to an alternative session date, subject to availability.
Rescheduling with less than 48 hours' notice
We will do our best to accommodate your request. However, a new booking deposit may be required where reasonable and lawful to cover losses arising from the late change.
Cancellations with less than 48 hours' notice
Where no statutory cancellation right applies, we may retain some or all of the €50 deposit to cover reasonable losses associated with the reserved session time, provided the amount retained is fair, proportionate and lawful.
Failure to attend
If you do not attend your session without providing notice, the deposit may be retained on the same basis. We will always consider genuine emergencies, unexpected illness and exceptional circumstances.
If Browne Studio Photography cancels a session, you will be offered an alternative date. If no suitable alternative can be agreed, payments for the cancelled session will be refunded.
These arrangements do not override your statutory cancellation or refund rights.
3. Statutory Cancellation Rights
For eligible bookings made online, by telephone or through another distance-selling method, consumers generally have a statutory 14-day cancellation period beginning when the service contract is concluded. Certain exceptions may apply, including where a service falls within a legally recognised exemption or where services have been fully performed following the required express requests and acknowledgements. Where a statutory cancellation right applies, it takes priority over our standard 48-hour cancellation policy.
If you request that photography services begin during an applicable cancellation period, we will obtain any legally required express request and acknowledgement separately. Where permitted by law, you may be required to pay a proportionate amount for services already supplied if you subsequently cancel.
To exercise an applicable statutory cancellation right, please notify us clearly by email before the cancellation period expires. You may also use the cancellation form available here.
Any refund due following a valid statutory cancellation will be processed in accordance with applicable law, generally within 14 days of receiving the cancellation notice.
4. Late Arrivals
Please arrive on time for your scheduled session. Late arrival may result in a shorter photography session if other bookings are scheduled afterwards. We cannot guarantee additional time for late arrivals. If a delay is caused by Browne Studio Photography, reasonable adjustments will be made to ensure the agreed service is provided.
5. Photography Sessions
We aim to create a comfortable and enjoyable experience for every client. Children may need breaks, reassurance or time to become comfortable in front of the camera. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate this. Although we work carefully to capture beautiful photographs, specific poses, expressions or individual images cannot be guaranteed. Parents and guardians are responsible for supervising their children throughout the session. Clients are asked to follow reasonable safety instructions when using studio equipment, props and backdrops.
6. Outdoor Sessions and Weather
Outdoor photography sessions depend on suitable weather, lighting and safe conditions. If weather conditions make a session unsafe or unsuitable, Browne Studio Photography may recommend rescheduling. We will endeavour to arrange an alternative date at no additional charge. If a suitable alternative cannot be agreed, applicable cancellation and refund rights will be respected.
7. Image Selection and Editing
All photographs are carefully selected and professionally edited in keeping with Browne Studio Photography's artistic style. Standard editing may include:
Exposure and colour adjustments.
Skin-tone refinement.
Cropping and composition adjustments.
Light skin retouching.
Minor distractions or blemish removal.
Extensive retouching, significant alterations or specialist editing may incur additional charges, agreed in advance. Unedited photographs and RAW files are not included in photography packages and will not ordinarily be provided. The photographer retains creative discretion over image selection and editing, while ensuring the delivered service meets the agreed package description and applicable consumer law.
8. Galleries and Image Delivery
Your photography package includes the number of professionally edited digital photographs specified in your booking confirmation. Where a proofing gallery is provided, you will be invited to select your preferred photographs. Proof images may contain watermarks and must not be copied, downloaded, edited or published without permission. Final edited photographs will normally be delivered within 14–21 calendar days following the photography session or, where image selection is required, within 14–21 calendar days of receiving your completed selections. If an unexpected delay occurs, we will inform you as soon as reasonably possible and agree appropriate arrangements.
Additional edited photographs may be purchased separately.
9. Gallery Availability and Storage
Your final online gallery will remain available for 30 days from the date of delivery. During this period, you can download your purchased photographs. We strongly recommend downloading your photographs promptly and keeping backup copies in more than one secure location. After 30 days, gallery access may expire and photographs may no longer be available for download. Browne Studio Photography may retain backup copies of images for a limited period in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We do not guarantee indefinite storage of client photographs.
Expiry of a gallery does not affect any statutory rights or remedies relating to the photography services or digital content supplied.
10. Copyright and Personal Use
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Browne Studio Photography retains copyright in the photographs it creates. Once full payment has been received, private clients receive a non-exclusive, perpetual licence to use their purchased photographs for personal, non-commercial purposes.
This includes:
Downloading and saving photographs.
Printing photographs for personal use.
Sharing photographs with family and friends.
Posting photographs on personal social media accounts.
Photographs may not be sold, licensed to third parties or used for commercial advertising without written permission. Personal branding and business photography packages include the commercial usage rights expressly agreed in the relevant booking confirmation. Clients may not claim authorship of photographs created by Browne Studio Photography.
11. Social Media and Promotional Use
We love sharing our photography, but we respect our clients' privacy. Identifiable client photographs will only be used for our website, portfolio, social media or advertising where appropriate permission has been obtained. Consent for promotional use is optional and separate from agreeing to these Terms & Conditions. Declining promotional use will not affect your booking, session or image delivery. Photographs featuring children will not be used for promotional purposes without appropriate permission from a parent or legal guardian. Clients may withdraw consent for future promotional use by contacting us. We will take reasonable steps to remove affected images from channels under our control, subject to applicable law.
12. Client Responsibilities
Clients are responsible for providing accurate booking and contact information. Please inform us in advance of any relevant accessibility requirements, special arrangements or session preferences. Parents or guardians must ensure appropriate supervision of children during photography sessions.
Clients are responsible for obtaining necessary permissions for any privately arranged locations, props or materials they supply.
13. Refunds and Digital Photographs
Photography sessions and edited photographs are personalised services. Outside applicable statutory cancellation rights, a change-of-mind refund may not be available once services have been supplied in accordance with the contract. Where digital content is supplied before the end of an applicable cancellation period, any legally required consent and acknowledgement will be obtained separately. Nothing in these terms limits your rights where services or digital content are faulty, not as described, not supplied with reasonable care and skill, or otherwise fail to meet applicable legal requirements. Where required by law, appropriate remedies may include repeat performance, correction, a price reduction or a refund.
14. Equipment Failure and Unexpected Circumstances
We take reasonable precautions to protect our equipment, photographs and client information. If equipment failure, illness, accidental image loss or another unexpected event prevents us from providing the agreed services, we will contact you promptly. Depending on the circumstances, we may offer a replacement session, an appropriate refund or another legally required remedy. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for negligence causing death or personal injury, fraud, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
15. Privacy and Data Protection
Your personal information and photographs are handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable Irish and European data protection legislation.
16. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time. The terms applicable to a confirmed booking will be those provided or made available when the booking was made, unless otherwise agreed or required by law.
17. Governing Law
These Terms & Conditions are governed by Irish law. Nothing in these terms affects your mandatory statutory consumer rights.
